SUGGESTIO:rNrS 

FOR 

TEACHING HISTORY TO GEAMMAR GRADES. 



All methods suggested in this outline call for personal research. 
The mere memorizing of assertions does not create a taste for his- 
torical study. Assign certain topics rather than certain lessons, 
always, of course, with reference to resources available, and do 
your best to carry forward the class without undue dependence upon 
any particular text- book. 

The attitude of the pupil's mind to history may be encouraging, 
but it is likely to be much the reverse. Even graduates of high 
schools often lack any notion of the continuity of history, and have 
not developed any love for historical reading. 

In the case of grammar grades, the arrangement of the topic must 
receive attention. It will be well to have pupils understand that, 
after reading the authorities offered, a little art is necessary. Stimu- 
late them to ask themselves mental questions like these : — 

What are you going to describe? 

What impression are you going to give ? 

How are you going to group details? 

How are you going to gain effectiveness ? 

MEMORANDA. 

I am going to describe the coming of the Pilgrims. 

I am going to give an impression of the sense of loneliness, but 
also of their happiness in living here as they wished. 

I am going to group details around this central thought. 

I am going to gain effectiveness by illustrations, by significant in- 
cidents, and by crisp, short sentences. 

Some one has said that the history of this country was largely 
written before man came here. Use a physical map of the United 



IV 

States to show the moimtaia wall on the slopes of which crouched the 
first settlers. The gateways of the west are to be seen, — the one 
through which passes the Baltimore and Ohio, the path of the Erie 
Canal, and the road the Pennsylvania people found. The broad 
basin of the Mississippi was sure to become one of the most interest- 
ing and wealthy areas of the earth. 

Read exhaustivel}' a few campaigns. Do not study separate battles 
much. For instance, the first Confederate line of defence in the civil 
war should be made perfectly clear. The campaign of '62 pushed 
this line south from Paducah to Chattanooga, as far as the west was 
concerned ; the campaign of '63 opened the Mississippi and reduced 
the area of the Confederacy to four States, and that of '64 destroyed 
the last resources available for the Carolinas and Virginia. 

The cause, purpose and results of such battles as are studied 
should be well understood. That of Gettysburg should be thoroughly 
gone into, with a diagram of the two ridges and the Federal stand on 
Cemetery Ridge on July 1 ; the struggle for the Round Top hills on 
the 2d; and Pickett's charge upon Hancock's position on the 3d. 

Civics, as constitutional government, is taught in direct connection 
with history. An institution is the outcome of a condition. New 
England villages were settled by congregations coming with their 
pastors from over sea. The township form of government, with 
schools, printing-press and intense public spirit, was the natural re- 
sult. In Virginia, on the other hand, each plantation was independent 
of neighbors, with its own little harbor and with ships coming from 
England direct to its wharf. There was a constant looking towards 
the old home ; planters' children expected to graduate at Oxford or 
Cambridge ; people lived the life of English country squires. The 
Virginia county system was the natural consequence in this case. 
Forms of government in newer sections of our land have been based, 
so far, upon one or other of these systems or upon a blending of the 
two. 

An examination of the outline will show a broad division of our 
history into related groups of events. The separate topics of each 
group form lesson unities; but occasionally topics can be blended. 
Much necessarily depends on the amount of time at the disposal of 
the teacher. 

The class should have uniform text-books. To this end, several 
superior histories of the United States, written for schools, are cited 



continuously iu the lists of references. The teacher, however, needs 
a wilier outlook for her address, or generalization as it is often termed ; 
and a liberal number of authorities is provided for her use. 

THE METHOD OF THE RECITATION. 

Each topic is a small whole of instruction, to be subjected to an 
elaboration by itself ; and as apperception takes place only between 
similarly related notions, the old concepts already in the mind of a 
pupil must be recalled vividly to consciousness before anj'thing new 
is offered. This process is called the apperceptive step. It is a 
series of questions upon the topic of yesterday, but it is something 
more than that well-known thing, — a review of the previous lesson. 
For the questioning must be so skilful as to loosen from confusion 
those particular concepts with which connection is to be made. In 
other words, these questions are the hooks to which the new is to be 
attached. The step closes, therefore, with the setting up of the aim 
of the new work. 

The time consumed should not exceed five or seven minutes. 
Everything about this must be keen and practical, with a smooth 
leading up to the lesson of the day. 

The presentation of the new topic follows. This is usually by a 
little lecture abroad ; in our own country by the familiar topical form 
of recitation. If the historical period is the Revolution, and the 
topic the second attempt of the British to conquer New York, suitable 
subdivisions would be (1) the plan of Burgoyne's army; (2) the plan 
of St. Leger's army; (3) the plan of Howe's command; (4) the 
comparative risks of these plans; (5) the growing difficulty of Bur- 
goyne's situation ; (6) Bennington; (7) Fort Stanwix ; (8) aid for 
Burgoyne prevented by Washington ; (9) Saratoga. 

The presentation will fill twenty minutes certainly, often more. It 
calls for quiet, steady, hard woi'k. 

The third step falls to the teacher. She gives an address of five or 
ten minutes (the briefer period is preferable) upon the work just com- 
pleted, lifting the results clearly from the bulk of the material and 
making them cohere. Her stores of general information and special 
study come into play at this point. Above everything, she must be 
interesting. Can the hard worked teacher have this power? Is it 
something that we can learn? 



VI 

It must be. The purpose to give our truest service will help us. 
With right ideals, honest purpose and patient effort we must grow. 
And we must always remember that earnestness will make amends 
for lack of eloquence. 

The lesson ends with a recapitulation of the second and third steps 
by a few clever questions. Perhaps the, leai^hei: realizes a few weak 
places in the presentation. Very possibly she stands convicted of 
some vagueness in her address. It is for her now to clear up errors ; 
but of necessity she must be brief. 

To afford variety, she can give at times an entire lesson in a lecture. 
The physiography of North America might be interestingly presented 
so. Or half the recitation period may be assigned to some one for a 
report upon a special topic. Topics IV, page 9, II, page 10, V, page 
11, and V, page 13, are included for this treatment.

THE HISTORICAL STORY. 

Material. — Pictures, maps, stories, songs, poems. 
Method. — Presentation, questions, reproduction of the story by 
children in complete statements. 

The outline of the story may be placed on the board before the 
children are called on for the reproduction. 
A story consists of — 
(a) Introduction. 
(6) Body of the story, 
(c) Close of the story. 
The introduction must be brief, dear, vivid, because we must catch 
the attention. 

The body of the story must continue to interest. 

The close must have something fine for the children to carry away. 

SPECIMEN OUTLINE. 
Lincoln. 

1. The time (undeveloped west). 

2. The country (geography). 

3. Home and parents (influence). 

4. Society (influence) (sociology). 

5. Occupations (commerce; business in a new country ; flat-boat- 
ing, and his visit to the slave-market in New Orleans) . 

6. Experience. 

7. Lessons to be drawn (»o practical application of ethics). 

Rides for Story-telling. 

1. Fix the principal points of the story clearly in your own mind, 
also the relative importance of the subordinate parts. 

2. Develop logically or chronologically, making each point natu- 
rally follow the preceding. 



78 

3. Do uot obscure the principal points with details. 

4. Avoid digressions. 

5. Be simple in language and manner. 

6. Have dramatic fire. , 

7. The teller should be forgotten in the story. 

8. Use appropriate gestures. 

9. Moderate the voice to suit the emotion. 

10. Use pictorial or other helps. 

In a training school the story-teller is subject to criticism along the 
following lines : — 

LooTc at the Directions. — Did she obey the first direction ? Did she 
violate the third? How about the fourth? The fifth? The sixth? 
The seventh? Eighth? The tenth? The chief merit? The worst 
defect? Her tendency in story-telling? 

The story must be well balanced, with much regard for the first 
direction. 

A PICTURE LESSON. 

The photograph of the great historical picture of Columbus at the 
•Court of Ferdinand and Isabella, by Brojik, may be made a review 
of the previously told history story of Columbus and Isabella. 

In narration or description the following order may be observed : — 

(a) Introduction . — This should be brief, pleasant, and calculated 
to awake interest. It may often be omitted. 

(h) Objects found. — Let them study first the prominent figures, 
iind then the accessory objects ; as, the caskets on the table. 

(c) Objects described and Story inferred. — Let the class tell what 
they "think the picture is about," in their own wa}^. Simply ask, 
" Why do you think the queen and her ladies are so breathlessly 
attentive? " or " What makes you think Columbus is explaining Tos- 
canelli's map? " or " What are those grave, long-f rocked men behind 
him about?" Sometimes the teacher may tell the story in a way to 
confirm or correct the version of the class. 

{d) Lesson drawn. — The teacher should recapitulate the story 
in a manner that will excite the sympathy of the class, and should 
«tate in simple language wliat the picture teaches. 

(e) Picture removed, and the story reproduced orally or in writing. 
•"Tell me about the picture as you would tell a little boy or girl who 



79 

had not seen it." If they are careless in their choice of words, 
" How should you say that if you were going to put it in a book for 
some one to read ? " 

A photograph of the Shaw Memorial would call attention effectively 
to another historical epoch. 

Whatever Avill inspire interest is of value in both grammar and pri- 
mary history work. A medal, a badge, a bit of paper currenc}^ — 
-anything that brings the past near, will aid the lesson.
